VITROLITE 


EVERLASTING SLAB MATERIAL 


ARP GLE DEO 


PemeOOlbo COLUEGES - UNIVERSITIES 


Vitrolite slabs in varying sizes are ‘‘set”? over any wall 

surfacing by means of a patented elastic cement that 

clings to the wall. This cement adjusts itself to settling, 
shrinkage or expansion, and absorbs shocks. 


ITROLITE is a material fire-fused from those minerals 

that form nature’s hardest rock. It is manufactured in 
pure white, jet black, and colors, in slabs ranging in size up- 
wards to 40x 84, and in thickness from % to 1 inch. These 
slabs are used for wall finishing and industrial material, and 
for tops of tables and other fixtures. 


Vitrolite appeals to every one because of its obvious 
cleanliness. Its perfectly smooth surface is impossible to stain 
even with inorganic acids. There 1s nothing about it to hold 
odors or breed bacteria. It is easy to clean and keep clean; in 
fact, the stroke of a damp cloth is all that is ever necessary. 


Unlike other materials used for structural surfacing, it 
will always remain in its perfect condition, never crazing or 
discoloring. It is freproof, and although as hard as flint, will 
not crack if quickly heated or chilled. 


The Ustrolite Company has organized sales and 


installation organizations 
all over the world. These agencies are comprised of factory-trained work- 
men who understand the material and handle it without waste or experi- 
ment. Each organization has its own shop where Vitrolite is cut and 
ground to fit. The whole country is within a short distance of some one 
such construction company and will be quickly and expertly served by it.

Thus Vitrolite diffuses light—carrying it along deep corridors like this, lighting up every nook and corner. 


CLEANLINESS AND LIGHT FOR SCHOOLS 
Vitrolite 1s the ideal wall material— unchanged by age 


NSPECT the next school walls or wainscot- 
ings you see. Recall those in the school of 
which you are a guiding factor. Are they clean, 
white and sanitary? Too many are unsightly. 
Pure flawless white identifies those made of Vit- 
rolite. Closer examination will reveal in the clean 
walls a perfectly smooth surface hard as flint, 
and white as snow. No other product known to 
builders today can qualify for the job of modern- 
izing school toilets and washrooms as can Vit- 
rolite. 
An examination of the oldest sample of struc- 


tural Vitrolite available will show that there is 
no effect of wear on its surface. A crushing test 
has shown Vitrolite to be harder than concrete. 

All labor of upkeep is minimized where Vit- 
rolite is used. The stroke of a damp cloth takes 
the place of redecorating or costly grinding 
process. 

Write for a sample of Vitrolite and subject it 
to your own tests and with the vision of its 
cleanliness and knowledge of its resistive qual- 
ities, compare it with the toilet wall and par- 
titions in your school.

NO OBSCENE MARKINGS ON WALLS 


‘Urtrolite will not show pencil, pen or knife marks 


The tendency to write obscene matter on 
toilet walls and toilet partitions 1s thwarted 
by the use of Vitrolite. Its smooth, glossy surface 
will not show the marks of pencil, pen, or knife. 
The tendency to mark walls is best controlled by 
removing the material which will mark. 

This moral factor alone sells Vitrolite to school 
boards. The case for Vitrolite only begins with 
this point, however. An antiseptic, fresh, clean 
toilet room can be easily attained and maintained 
by using Vitrolite. It will not afford a breeding 
place for bacteria, nor hold odors. A room of the 
size shown above can be wiped with a damp 
cloth once a week and be clean and wholesome. 


The strongest sterilizing agents cannot injure it. 

Vitrolite multiplies light. Vitrolite rooms re- 
quire only half as much artificial light as a plaster 
room. 

To facilitate the use of Vitrolite, a toilet par- 
tition has been perfected which is installed ex- 
clusively by the Vitrolite branch agents. The 
panel is laminated and therefore vibration 
proof. No metal is exposed to corrode or form 
verdigris. 

Vitrolite toilets and washrooms will make any 
school more sanitary and more economical to 
maintain and will provide a protection to the 


health of the pupils.

N chemistry class rooms, and domestic 

science rooms, Vitrolite slabs are widely 
used. Vitrolite will not stain, become un- 
sightly or contaminating. It 1s moulded in 
such large slabs (up to 40x84) that there is 
no need for joints. The entire working sur- 
face is clean and smooth. Vitrolite facilitates 
class room work by reflecting light. Its pure 
white surface will aid in keeping an orderly 
spick-and-span appearance which is becom- 
ing to the class room. 


Vitrolite walls and ceilings in the chemical 
and domestic science class rooms are silent 
monitors of scientific cleanliness. They pay 
in the long run, for they need no redecorat- 
ing and will outlive the building. 

Vitrolite is made in jet black as well as 
white. Some school boards prefer the black 
material for working table tops in place of 
white. Either is suitable and both possess 
the same desirable qualities which so well fit 
them for the service necessary.

What could better whet the appetites of pupils or assure cleanly foods, than these cheerful, bright surroundings of Vitrolite. 


CHEERFUL CLEANLINESS FOR CAFETERIAS 


ATING places which depend upon the 
passing public for their patronage have 
long since found that Vitrolite on table tops 
attracts and holds business. This is due to 
the cleanliness and sanitation which Vitro- 
lite’s glistening surfaces imply. There is, too, 
an economic reason for Vitrolite’s wide ac- 
ceptance in commercial and industrial eating 
places. Vitrolite saves the expense of table 
linen—a startlingly big item. It costs less to 
keep up Vitrolite equipped eating places, for 
a damp cloth with an effortless stroke re- 
moves all spots and spillings. 


A school eating place must be economical- 
ly operated. Lunches cannot cost much, yet 
they must be appetizingly served. The en- 
vironment under which they are consumed 
directly affects the extent to which nourish- 
ment benefits. All these facts, and many 
more, point to Vitrolite as an ideal material 
for school eating places. 

The interests of sanitation and economy 
may be best served on the walls and ceilings 
of school kitchens. It is also the ideal ma- 
terial for table tops and exteriors and in- 
teriors of refrigerators.

CAFETERIA COUNTERS 


The illustration at the right 
shows a cafeteria counter 
done in decorated Vitrolite . 
—pleasingly ornamental 
and with all the immaculate 
appearance of sheer white 
Vitrolite. Vitrolite cafe- 
teria countersare produced, 
complete, in 4 foot sections. 
Counters are assembled so 
that there are no holes, 
bolts or screws in the Vitro- 
lite slabs. In plain white, 
white with two-tone black 
top and trim, and white 
with color decorations. 


DESK TOPS — Etched 
blackVitrolite desk tops pos- 
sess a dignified elegance un- 
matched by any other desk 
top ever used. The compar- 
atively fragile plate-glass 
iop is eliminated; there is no 
air-space between top and 
desk to collect dust; ink spots 
do not show and any stain, 
spot or dust wipes quickly 
away.Vitrolitemakes a per- 
fect working surface for 
any office pursuit. If desired 
school monograms, crests or 
trade-marks may be includ- 
ed — either etched or in 
colors. 


Above two-tone black Vitrolite table tops of standard design. Two-tone black Vitrolite may be used anywhere with assurance that it 

will prove attractive to all who like decorative effects and yet not offend the most conservative tastes. Other beautiful table top effects 

are secured with color-decorated white Vitrolite, two-tone white Vitrolite and color decorated, or two-tone ivory Vitrolite. An extensive 
selection of standard designs suitable for all varieties of installations is available and special designs are furnished where desired.

table tops, using either the white or black material as a 
base. The mark which stands for your school or university can 
be indelibly and beautifully inscribed either by itself or in con- 
junction with a complete design. Such a treatment can be done
